See Subedei said nothing at all wrong in this thread yet as usual an idiot that is on a path to start a fight has decided to try and ruin yet another thread. # Snobby how about you grow up act your age and just get on with discussing speedway Having read the stuff you've posted on this forum and BSF the past few days, you are a fine one to say that. I suggest you get counciling. |

Snophie as i asked before will you stop trying to insult me. all i did was post my view on the fact that its about time other tracks were used to hold BSPA events. Now im starting to assume you must be a fan of one of these teams and that is why you are against such an idea.
Could you please stop trying to drag thiss thread into an argument

I agree with the tracks that have been used to hold the meetings......
...I just don't agree with the meetings they have been given.
Sheffield and Coventry should both hold "Rider Championships" But Sheffield the EL and Coventry the PL.

Why should an elite club like Coventry, who have higher running and operating costs be forced to host an inferior meeting, whilst Sheffield who have chosen to remain in the second tier get rewarded with a better one ? |

I think he may be thinking that most riders from each league wont of ridden these tracks before (or not for a while) therefore it would be more a neautral venue than using a league track that offers home advantage in individual meetings.

Wouldn't it be the other way around? Why should Sheffield (who operate in a fairly plush, by speedway's standards, stadium) host a meeting with higher costs than usual? But surely these are BSPA shared events, where the revenues are shared between the members of the BSPA. That said, I don't see much need for the frivolous Elite League meetings, such as the pairs and the ELRC. But the PL's shared events still have some merit. |

It would make it alot more even when these PL events come round. The way things are just now its almost a certainty that anyone with home track advantage will win the event.

As far as the PL events go - no problem . The pairs is great at Somerset - brilliant track , huge crowd , great atmosphere and a blind ref , what more could you want .
Sheffield has always done the Riders Championship well , apart from 2004's blip .
And the fours is at Workington .

And the riders from each of these clubs more than likely will win the respective events. How "fun" that is to watch. Either a rota basis scheme should be introduced or some how a national style stadium set up as a neautral venue to hold such events. Just like other sports have.

Somerset has hosted the pairs twice , both meetings have been fantastic and Somerset have won neither . I couldn't think of a better place to host one of the super 7 meetings than Somerset as it's the best and fairest track in the country . Sheffield is an easy venue for all PL supporters to get to for a Sunday afternoon event . Magnus Zetterstrom and Tai Woffinden are the last two winners there - both didn't ride for the hosting track . The fours is the one that could be moved around , as Workington is a pretty desolate place and does seem to favour the home side . |

I dont feel one should be moved about and not the other 2 that could cause calls of favouritism. As i say a rota system or an EL track are the fairest solutions. People get plenty warning as to when and where the events are held so have plenty time to get time off work if they so wish or plenty time to arrange there journey.

Putting the PL events on EL tracks just doesn't work . Been tried and failed too many times . Best left to the tracks that do them best .

Well if a EL track wasnt used then i would have to say a rota style as we will never see an independent track built just for a hand full of meetings a season it aint financially sensible.

As a concept it's not that bad to have PL events on EL tracks. But, as you say, it doesn't work, although in the past it used to - the old NLRC was always hosted at a "big league" track, such as Wimbledon (until they joined the NL) and then Coventry. But those were simpler times. Nowadays, the PL riders just don't appeal broadly to the mass of support at EL tracks. A fact of life, love it or leave it. As for EL events on PL tracks, just as Buster Chapman his views and he might have a heart attack. |

And who will ever forget Robert Nagy beating Mick Poole in a thrice run , run-off for the Div 2 riders championship at Coventry . But as you say , simpler times . And poor old Buster only has heart attacks at Armadale .  |
